Answering the Father
John’s entire career is spent responding to the Father’s call
John is quite specific concerning Jesus’s identity
John 1:33–34 (NRSV)
‘He on whom you see the Spirit descend and remain is the one who baptizes with the Holy Spirit.’
And I myself have seen and have testified that this is the Son of God.”
He is the one Israel has waited for
He is uniquely empowered by the Spirit
He takes away the world’s sin
He baptizes with the Spirit
Holy Spirit The Holy Spirit (or Spirit of God) transforms and empowers God’s people.

*** Photo of dove: The Spirit rested on Jesus, and Jesus baptizes with the Holy Spirit.
Are you baptized with the Spirit?
Transformed and empowered by God?
Answering the Son
*** Photo of John pointing the two disciples to Jesus
The disciples believe John’s testimony
The disciples (Andrew, and an unnamed disciple) follow Jesus
*** Photo from “The Chosen” of Simon and Andrew
Jesus calls disciples
Those called by Jesus are baptized with the Holy Spirit, transformed and empowered
Disciples don’t run on their own steam, they’re vested with the divine presence and power
Jesus gives a new identity, sometimes symbolized by a new name, as he makes us new as his disciples
*** Photo: Jesus calling.
Jesus is calling.
Answer him!
